Chapter 12: The Victim and the Sucker

Without saying anything else, just the act of cursing Uncle Meng, if reported, would be a major offense. Not to mention, he even tried to draw his sword to kill his fellow disciple, and actually carried it out...

Chu Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a lingering fear: "Fortunately, he fell down himself... Otherwise... Senior Sister Wu, otherwise I would have been..."

He stopped there, looking pitifully at Wu Qianqian. However, the phrase "he fell down himself..." was something he had the nerve to say...

"Otherwise, you would have been killed by him." The poor girl easily fell into the trap, finishing Chu Yang's "unspoken words" for him.

"Exactly!" Chu Yang clapped his hands, making a "clap" sound, and said with a sense of shared understanding: "Senior Sister Wu, you have a keen eye and a fair heart, truly wise and discerning..."

Wu Qianqian vaguely felt something was off, but also felt that what he said was correct. She nodded in a daze, and with a string of compliments, her girlish nature made her feel a bit elated...

At this moment, Li Jianyin finally lifted his head from the deep pit. He was injured but not unconscious; he could hear clearly. Hearing Chu Yang's few words turn him into the victim, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

But his throat was still blocked with a large piece of dirt, and he couldn't even spit out the blood. He endured the intense pain, dug the dirt out of his mouth with his fingers, and the dirt in his throat, which he couldn't spit out, he finally, with a deep breath, swallowed it down...

There was no other choice; if he didn't get rid of the dirt, Li Jianyin would have suffocated to death.

Chu Yang and Wu Qianqian watched as Li Jianyin's neck stretched longer and longer, and in the middle, it looked like a small snake had swallowed a whole egg, a large bulge slowly moving down his neck until it finally disappeared with a "gulping" sound, and his neck returned to its original state...

Both of them stared with wide eyes, swallowing their saliva...

This... This is really terrifying...

"Spit—!" Li Jianyin finally spat out a mouthful of blood, breathing heavily like a bellows, the suffocation making him temporarily forget his broken leg, which, in a way, was a blessing in disguise...

However, this was not a long-term solution. Soon, the intense pain in his leg and face... and the sand, stones, and dirt he had swallowed, causing his intestines to burn with pain...

At this moment, Li Jianyin wished he could just die...

He truly experienced what it meant to be "in such pain that one wishes to die."

He wanted to curse, but he was still catching his breath.

After a while, Li Jianyin finally lifted his head, looking at Chu Yang with a fierce expression: "Chu Yang! You wait, I won't let you off! In this life, I will never let you live in peace! Ow..." He trembled all over, trying to show his resolve in front of his beloved, but he couldn't help it...

Chu Yang shuddered: "Senior Sister Wu, look, look..."

Wu Qianqian comforted him: "Junior Brother Chu, don't worry. I witnessed the whole thing; no one will make things difficult for you. Junior Brother Li was just speaking in anger; you don't need to take it to heart..."

Li Jianyin made two strange sounds from his throat, rolling his eyes in disbelief at Wu Qianqian, and finally broke down: "You witnessed the whole thing? What did you witness? I was almost killed..."

At this moment, Wu Qianqian finally noticed something was wrong and exclaimed: "Junior Brother Li... your leg?!" Then she was shocked again: "Your nose..."

Li Jianyin, tears streaming down his face, hit the ground with his head, making a loud thudding sound. Mother! You finally noticed, I am severely injured and possibly disabled... Overcome with emotion, he started to sob...

The rising star of the Tianwailou, the son of the second-in-command, actually crying in public... This made Wu Qianqian, who was about to leave, a bit confused. She blinked her beautiful eyes, not understanding: Is it really that painful? Is it really that bad? We are people of the martial world, we don't cry over blood...

She didn't know that Li Jianyin was truly depressed and in unbearable pain... The biggest source of his depression was Wu Qianqian...

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the bamboo grove, and two people quickly ran over: "Who is making such a commotion? Hmm? Chu Yang? What happened?"

It was Shi Qianshan and Tan Tan who had arrived.

Seeing the chaotic scene at the door, both of them were stunned.

"Senior Brother, you must do something for me!" Chu Yang called out in a tragic voice, using the ready-made shield. This was the best opportunity to shift the blame. Everyone likes to see a dogfight: "Just now, I almost got killed... right at our door, this guy came and cursed the master, then called us useless..."

Shi Qianshan's face immediately darkened.

Although Shi Qianshan was shrewd, he couldn't stay out of this. If someone cursed the master and he did nothing, how could he still be in the sect? Moreover, Shi Qianshan was proud of his intelligence and effort, always aiming to be the top disciple. Now, to be called useless?

This cannot be tolerated!

"Really?!" Shi Qianshan's face was dark, his eyes narrowed, and he said with authority, exuding a sense of authority.

Hearing that the matter was about to escalate, Wu Qianqian quickly stood up and bowed: "Senior Brother Shi, this is our fault. Junior Brother Li is young and speaks without thinking. I hope Senior Brother Shi will calm down and not hurt the harmony among us."

Wu Qianqian's words were very humble and tactful. By saying this, the matter was almost resolved. However, her words also firmly established Li Jianyin's guilt!

Shi Qianshan felt a bright face appear before his eyes, and he couldn't help but look greedily. He then said seriously: "It's Senior Sister Wu. Since Senior Sister Wu says so, I won't pursue it..."

But he couldn't help feeling puzzled.

When Wu Qianqian stood up, Li Jianyin, whom she had been covering, was revealed. Seeing Li Jianyin with a nose and tears, his face covered in blood, looking miserable, Shi Qianshan was greatly shocked.

Who is this guy? He's still... crying?! I'm dizzy, isn't he afraid of losing face...

Damn, who is the one who was bullied?

Looking at Chu Yang, apart from being covered in dust and looking rather disheveled, there was nothing unusual... Actually, the dust on Chu Yang was from digging up the Golden Blood Black Ginseng...

Could this person have been beaten by Chu Yang? Shi Qianshan couldn't recognize the bloodied and battered person in front of him as Li Jianyin, and he was just puzzled. But his words "I won't pursue it" caused trouble.

"Shi Qianshan! You actually want to pursue it? Pursue your ancestors!" Li Jianyin coughed and cursed, his hatred almost making him spit blood: "You damn Shi Qianshan, I'll f*** your sixth uncle! I will never let you and your ilk live in peace! I will make you wish you were dead!"

Suffering such a great humiliation and severe injuries that might never fully heal, Li Jianyin's hatred had already grown. Not just towards Chu Yang, but towards anyone in the Bamboo Grove, they were all mortal enemies to him!

Even including Meng Chao Ran!

If it weren't for him teaching such a disciple, how would I be like this?

"Never let me go?!" Shi Qianshan's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Just you? Do you have the qualifications? Whenever you come, I, Shi Qianshan, will be waiting! Haha, if you dare to come once, I, Shi Qianshan, will dare to beat you once! If you anger me, hah, I, Shi Qianshan, am not afraid to kill!"

At the last sentence, he felt his words were powerful and humorous, and he chuckled.

Shi Qianshan was not a fool; he had a reason for saying this.

Chu Yang's cultivation was almost the lowest among the Tianwailou disciples. And this guy was beaten to such a state by Chu Yang!

How useless must this guy be?

Even if a hundred of such people came, he, Shi Qianshan, would not be afraid!

Moreover, he could show his heroic and chivalrous spirit in front of Senior Sister Wu, and why not?

Chu Yang, Chu Yang, you have given me a great opportunity to shine.

If this matter escalates, the elders in the sect might take notice of me. Then, as long as I get a chance to meet them, I can use this opportunity to leap to the top!
